I have not changed my mind. HIDP is Bluetooth specific and should stay there. Especially since we are currently discussing changes to make things also work over Bluetooth Low Energy (LE), but that is a complete different topic and it just started. > Marcel, Gustavo -- if you are interested in the whole discussion regarding > potential extension of HID core infrastructure to better suit multitouch, > please see the whole thread at http://marc.info/?t=133105322800006&r=1&w=4 HIDP is just a transport driver in the end. And I heard that the Apple Magic Trackpad actually does work nicely. Never tried it by myself.
